Get Up and Move!: The Surprising Power of Physical Activity

🔎 Studies have shown that sitting has become the new smoking. And for many of us, that’s a real bummer. 😟 We spend hours a day in front of a computer, but fortunately there’s a simple solution: Get up and move! 🏃‍♂️

Did you know?

Research reveals that sitting for more than 60 minutes at a time can significantly increase your risk of heart disease and even early death—regardless of your later exercise. 😳 However, consistently breaking up your sitting time every 30 minutes with just 5 minutes of movement can:

• Reduce your risk of cardiovascular issues

• Improve your mental health

• Boost your creativity 🧠✨

Here’s how I stay active:

• I take a quick walk every hour

• Sometimes I have an impromptu dance party with my daughters 💃🏽

• I make sure to keep my blood flowing throughout the day

It doesn’t have to be complicated. Just get up and move. Studies show that getting up and moving spurs creativity. Want to be innovative? Want to make an impact? You need to be creative. So take that break. Get the walk. Do the dance. Have fun! 🎉
